A quiet sketchbook session beginning in my grandmother’s old apple orchard. Sepia pencil, loose leaves, fragments of apples and plenty of white space. The page was feeling a little too empty, so I decided to to carry on with ink.

The branches are drawn directly in ink, without a reference or pencil underneath. No planning, just one line after another and seeing where they lead.

No talking, no music. Just pencil, pen and the quiet sounds of drawing.

Thank you for spending some quiet drawing time with me.
